Guardians of the Galaxy #6 (2019) Review
If ‘The Final Gauntlet’ is anything to go by, Donny Cates is not wasting time with his fresh take on Marvel’s premier space oddities. It’s been an opening arc of blockbuster scale and thrills, easily establishing this as the most interesting volume of “Guardians of the Galaxy” since Abnett and Lanning’s seminal run of the mid noughties. Certainly, it’s the first to be published since the dawn of their MCU incarnations that comes anywhere near close to capturing the essence of James Gunn’s cosmic romps, all the while avoiding the pitfalls of being an outright imitation.
